Since the authenticat ion server needs to get the plaintext passwords, the passwords mu st be stored. Thus someone other than the authentication server may access the password file. In addition, it is possib le to impersonate an authenticatio[...]

    ZyXEL G-570S User’s Guide 152 Appendix D IP Subne tting Since the first octet of a class “A” IP address must contain a “0”, the first octet of a class “A” address can have a valu e of 0 to 127. Similarly the first octet of a class “B” must begi n with “10”, therefore the first octet of a class “B” address has a valid range[...]
